The Snowy Hydro SouthCare helicopter was also out for display & rides. A few hours after this event, this helicopter was used for a patient transfer to Canberra Hospital.
Here are a few photos of the helicopter on approach.

Some nice photos there - how did you find the drive?
Great, I was a bit nervous accelerating to start off with. But I had no difficulty in turning the bus & was smooth with the brakes. The hill at the end worried me a bit, but I had controlled the bus easy enough. By the end of it I believe I had the jist of the hang of it.
